alcohol or cigarettes like 24/7 like you do in california here. it's more about reducing the harm reducing the role of the criminal law in drug control policy as much as possible while protecting health and safety. >> despite all that evidence we're beating our heads against the wall. we have presidential candidate who act original in their thinking, but when they get in, they become carbon copies of their predecessors. what is it about the political inability or the public unwillingness to support issues. >> it's very hard and unusual for the president to lead. look at gay marriage, you provided leadership, and then years later president obama said me too. he's following. in '53, fdr didn't lead, he followed the rest of the country. obama came in. he had made three commitments when running for president four years ago. he said i'll roll back the federal war on marijuana. i'll change these mandatory penalties and allow federal funding for needle exchange. lo and behold he made good on all three in the first three months and then he backed away. first because the republicans became in contr

in time as we did in alameda county in the oakland area of northern california and look at things like red lining maps and racial residential segregation racially restrictive covenants. you can actually map out areas where certain populations notably african-americans but also asian americans and latinos were not allowed to live. and where there was systemic disinvestment from those communities and then you come to today and you can overlay maps of life expectancy on those areas and you see the biggest disparities, actually occurring in the very same place as where there has been 20, 30, 40 years of systemic disinvestment from those communities. so the implication is that segregation has not only economic impacts but it also has profound health impacts that can be manifest in the actual length of people's lives. >> dr. iton, the idea here at current, the reason we're doing this is to bring people's attention to hunger. when you tie them with poverty even more so. tell us about a program that's the fresh works fund progra

. great news for the tea party losing. one race in california, the brad sherman, howard berman race that was almost literally a bloodbath when sherman tried to challenge him to a fist fight. berman just beat him down at the polls. and then in the palm springs area the 33rd district lost to raul luis. if you think the latino vote-- vote----the macks they boast both lost races. >> cenk: let's look at the composition of the house real quick. right now the race that has been called. seven are still being decided it looks like the republicans held onto the house but they lost seats in the house which a lot of people are not talking about. >> no, that's true. today the silver lining for the republicans is that they did in fact, hole on to the house. john boehner just today was saying that people voted for status quo in the house of representatives. one of them is that we spent so much time about the citizens united, the amount of money put into the presidential race and the senate races and it made the biggest difference in the house. so much money spent on a local level where it's hard t

case before it. ruled the 2008 state ballot measure here in california is unconstitutional. here's how this works. the high court decides not to hear the case, and the appeal court ruling stands, that means gay marriage will be legal. if the court decides it wants to hear the case, then gay marriage is on hold until there is a ruling some time next year. now legal in nine states and in washington, d.c. the courts decideing whether it wants to take up one of several cases on the marriage act it. doma defines marriage between a man and a woman and there is a provision that denies benefits of same-sex couples. they have struck down that division as unconstitutional which makes it more likely that the supreme court will want to hear at least one of those cases. one of the big questions we had after the election is not why mitt romney lost but why he was so convinced he was going to win. this morning the new republic has an exclusive report on the campaign's final internal polls in six swing states, and it looks like they were flawed. pollsters overestimated the turn turnout when polled th
